Asahi: Nation's 3rd all-female detention facility opens
A long overdue holding facility just for women opened here this month, reflecting a trend of rising crime among the fairer sex. It is only the third such facility of its kind in Japan. The others are in Tokyo and Aichi Prefecture. The three-story Shizuoka Prefectural Fuji Detention Center was built with detainee privacy and other rights in mind, officials said. All the guards are women. Until last fiscal year, women were detained in holding cells at six police stations-two each in eastern, central and western Shizuoka Prefecture. The stations, however, also house male suspects.
